Riding a '37 Fleetwood
People think I'm crazy (and I'm not denying it) but recently I'm going through a phase. I'm letting go of some of the bigger, more expensive bikes and going for more interesting, but less prestigious bikes.
one of the recent bikes I just picked up from fellow CABEr Brian aka Krautwaggen is a 1949 Western Flyer badged Huffman. at first people were asking me What on earth do you want that for??? but I like the lines, the quality was still good in the early postwar years, and most importantly I've had this Huffman badge that I can't use on a prewar bike but is too cool not to use.
so the Western Flyer is getting re-badged as a Thunderbolt!

here's the bike:

Don't think your crazy Scott

You're allowing yourself to look more at the whole spectrum. I've been able to collect and find the lesser ( desirable) bikes than you now accept. And I always admired and envyed you, nick and Shawn for having the super high dollar collectables and still do. It's all good when it comes to enjoying old bicycles of all kinds and types from a base model spitfire to a fully accessorized super streamline. Rob.

Post war huffmans

I agree these postwar huffmans are still quality great riding bikes.somewhat hard to find but at a reasonable price.the first is a 48 national that is a family bike

the second is a 51 I bought for the springer and headlight set-up but cleaned it up and it's staying together

the springer is like glass great bikes can't wait to see what Scott is going to make with that badge set up
 
I agree about the quality of many early post war bikes. Personally, I'm a fan of the workhorse bikes of the late 30's to the late 40's. Not a real fan of the overly designed models from this period, but I sure don't mind a tank and rack either. I like this new direction that you're taking*.

*I know that you just absolutely live for my approval.
